Title: A process control system with a database or data store containing event data and configuration data
Inventor: DEITZ DAVID L
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2004-03-09
Abstract: A configuration system for a process plant includes a routine that automatically provides an indication of the relationships between units and sub-elements of the units, such as equipment and control modules, present within a process plant to a data historian. The data historian, which may be a batch historian, stores these relationships in a configuration file or a database, collects events generated within the process plant and associates those events to the proper unit within the process plant using the stored relationships. The automatic updating of the data historian configuration file eliminates the need for a user to manually update the data historian with these relationships, either at the time the process plant is configured or each time a change is made to the configuration of the process plant.

Title: A gauging system for checking a valve seat and valve guide
Inventor: FIRMIN GLENN
IPC: G01B3/00
Filed: 2004-04-26
Abstract: A gauging system for checking a valve seat and valve guide comprises an air gauge head 22 which depends from a gauge support 18, a balancing mechanism and a motor to rotate the gauge head. The balancing mechanism is arranged to seat the gauge on the valve seat with a predetermined force, to reduce errors caused by inconsistent application of the gauge head. The balancing mechanism comprises two tensators attached by lines to a rotatable sliding bush 14. The gauge support is attached to the sliding bush via a telescoping balance arm 11 16 17. The tensators are calibrated such that the balance arm exerts a pre-determined load. The motor is located in the gauge support 18 which rotates the gauge head within the valve seat thus enabling the roundness, ovality and valve guide runout to be measured. A universal joint 23 is interposed between the gauge and gauge support to allow for any misalignment. Disclosed is an arrangement where the balancing mechanism is free standing, as shown in the figure, and an arrangement where a further gauge head is located in an adjacent valve seat, to provide support for the balancing mechanism.
